During the week, I always study my online programme later at night. I finish work, arrive at home and cook and eat a meal, do any household tasks and usually take a bath.
I then settle down to work - usually, during the week, reading as I can break up chapters etc, read, take notes and then work out if I can realistically do effective study for more than a couple of hours. I work in my study, which has a large window looking over the sea. This means that I have a large slice of sky to look at, and as this part of the world has clear, non-polluted skies, I see a vast panorama of stars.
I've found this very conducive to thought. I feel serene, and I find that my mind clears of everyday topics and allows me to think clearly and concisively. Maybe we could deliver this panorama online?
